The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned to honor Napoleon in 1806. By the time construction had really begun in earnest, Napoleon had suffered a disastrous military defeat and had been forced into exile.
Trump: We’re building an arc like the Arc de Triomphe. It will be like the one in Paris but it blows it away.

In 1931 in Kiel, Germany, Rachel Posner, the wife of a rabbi, took this picture.

On the back of the photograph she wrote:

“‘Death to Judah,’ so the flag says.

‘Judah lives forever,’ so the light answers.”

The light will continue to answer the darkness. Happy Hanukkah.

I’m absolutely sick to wake up to news of a massacre of Jews celebrating the first night of Hanukkah in Australia. A nightmare come true.

This man, Ahmed El Ahmed, is a hero of the highest degree. Who knows how many lives he saved? An incredible act in the face of such vile and cowardly evil.

Seems like the specific target of this attack is really sufficiently important that it ought to be in the headline here.
BREAKING: 9 killed in shooting at Sydney's Bondi Beach and police fatally shot one of 2 gunmen, Australian Broadcasting Corp says.
Gunmen kill 9 at Bondi Beach; police kill one, arrest another
Two gunmen have shot dead nine people at Sydney’s Bondi Beach. This tragic event occurred on Sunday.

the entire thing is a spectacle based on a professional provacateur who comically gut put in charge of CBS news interviewing the bereaved wife of a far right political rabble rouser. No big mystery why adverts are squeamish. anyone w a media background says no shit
Major advertisers appeared to sit out a new CBS News town hall telecast Saturday, moderated by Bari Weiss and featuring an interview with Erika Kirk.

Lack of Madison Avenue support could challenge the viability of the format, which Weiss wants to expand

It's because she doesn't know how to be the head of CBS News. Just no clue what a person in this role does. Similar to how Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy don't know how to be cabinet secretaries.

A hallmark of this movement is people being out of their depth. It says, "expertise is unnecessary."
I’m sorry but why is the head of cbs news on tv herself

I don’t know what the highest civilian honor a person in Australia can receive, but Ahmed el-Ahmed should get whatever is higher than that.

The dictionary definition of a hero.
7News Australia reports that the hero who jumped and disarmed one of the terrorist shooters

His name is Ahmed el-Ahmed

A 43 year old married father of two

He owns a fruit shop in Sutherland

No experience with guns

He was walking past

He has two bullets in his arm

Shalom, friends. Here I was.
Excited to film a fun video for Hanukkah to share with you tonight. Then I saw the news of the slaughter of (as of now) 11 people at a Hanukkah holiday celebration in Sydney. May the memories of those murdered be a blessing forever. 1/

The hero of Bondi: Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner from Sutherland. He grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists shooting at Jews during a Hanukkah celebration.

Ahmed was then shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. He’s being treated in the hospital and expected to be OK.

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.
